March on Stress News

March on Stress and HRAS in Maritime Executive magazine

Added on the 12th August 2015

The latest issue of Maritime Executive features March on Stress and our work with Human Rights at Sea.

In the article March on Stress Director, Professor Neil Greenberg, discusses the potential for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among seafarers. He highlights that the risk of PTSD is significantly diminished if organisations put in place measures to detect the early signs of it and manage it actively to prevent its progressing.

The piece also mentions the new guide for maritime organisations, being put together jointly by March on Stress and Human Rights at Sea. This will outline evidence-based techniques, information, and guidance to assist maritime organisations in minimising the risk of PTSD for their seafarers as well as information for seafarers and their families.
